  I live in Australia and don’t recall my school at all teaching me this in maths class

  I’m in Australia, and I remember being taught it, and I teach it.

  people exist that live in other countries and every countries education system is different

  The rules are the same everywhere, only the notation varies (in Germany they use . for multiply and : for divide, and say “dot before slash”, slash being - and +).

    The US education system may be different

    They have the same rules, but they don’t require Maths teachers to have a Maths qualification (in Australia you have to have a Masters), and they have been sliding in world rankings for more than a decade.
